Being here so far this summer has been a real blast. I remember saying tonight that i haven't so far had a single bad day, not one moment when i wasn't ready and willing to jump right into the middle of everything and get the job done. It's been incredibly fun, all the moments in which i saw a chance to either get lazy, or possibly blow off i haven't had the desire. Not a thought like that has passed through my mind. I feel very accomplished and ever ready to go after everything.
The people out here are awesome, and this week a whole new batch of people just joined us who are all equally amazing people. There is this one british girl out here who is fantastic to talk to. Extremely down to earth and really great to listen to. Not just because of her amazing tone of voice and accent, but primarily because she has so many really interesting and strong opinions that slightly shine through her jokes. I hope i get to build at least some sort of friendship with her, she is definitely a keeper. By far.
Every day i wake up, and i walk outside and just look out at the Long Island Sound, which is the water that sweeps into the area. Either that or it is the Thames River, i haven't quite gotten the geography on that figured out but i promise before i leave here i'll have an official and factual answer.
Every night is a blast, i get to talk to and hang out with so many people that i have just met within the last week and i feel so excited to see them and be around them every day. I never feel like there are any worries and i don't feel like there are any problems coming to crash into my life anymore.
My schedule is very complete now. I wake up on time, i eat on time, i go to bed on time, although right now I'm pushing it because it is nearly 1230 am as i type this sentence. But everything out here has put me on a really wonderful routine. One that really inspires me to get the most out of my person and really become a much stronger individual.
I received my schedule tonight of all the specific things that i will have to be doing on each of the shows being workshopped out here. Whether it be light board operator, or assistant lighting designer, or the deck electrician.
I play frisbee at night with everybody out here, we have bonfires on the beach every week. Everyone drinking at the on campus pub nightly. It's a real blast. I feel like i'm getting a lot of the time to recalibrate Dallas again. Remake the person i once was, and really find a sense of home for me. I miss being back in Arizona, and i miss all my friends, but i couldn't ask for a better opportunity to be around such wonderful and kind people. I feel blessed.
Now i finish typing this moment, and this sincere life update and head off to my bed. Only to be reminded of when i assumed Roo said a term I thought was only British, and then have that thrown back at me as something known all over. To be honest... I still don't even quite remember what that word was, but i couldn't have been that important.
Good night!
